Powerballs - the best Power Snack!
POWERBALLS - Powerful snack for Energetic kids
A great alternative to sugary granola bars with more protein and nutrition for longer lasting energy. We always use WOW-Butter made with soy-nuts which make them allergy-friendly like all our programs, but whle we’re all at home, you can use nut butters, like peanut butter or almond butter plus your favourite nuts too.
1 cup quick oats
1/2 cup Wow Butter or peanut butter
¼ cup liquid honey or maple syrup
¼ cup raisins or dried cranberries or chocolate chips
¼ cup coconut flakes or sesame seeds or hemp hearts or chia seeds
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla
Pinch of fine sea salt
* can substitute for other dried fruits such as dried cranberries or blueberries
Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl
Form into balls or bars that are wrapped in parchment paper. Roll in coconut if desired.
Refrigerate for 15-30 minutes until firm. (Optional - usually they get eaten right away!)
Enjoy! Store in air-tight container if there are any left
